I speculate (with help from AI writing this) that a revived alliance between the Trump, Putin, and maybe the United Kingdom could reshape global power structures, disrupting existing alliances and creating a new geopolitical struggle. Such a shift could challenge China’s dominance, weaken NATO and the EU, and spark realignments in energy markets and military strategy. If this "healing" of past alliances were to occur, it could astonish the world, much like the prophecy in Revelation 13:3, where a mortal wound is healed, leading to global admiration and a new era of power. Whether this results in stability or paves the way for a more centralized and controlling world order remains an open question, but such a development would undeniably mark a turning point in history.
If a strengthened Russia, under a renewed alliance with the U.S. and possibly the UK, leads to a shift in American priorities, Israel could face a significantly more hostile regional landscape, particularly if Russia deepens its existing ties with Iran. A stronger Russia-Iran partnership could embolden Iran to expand its influence across the Middle East, consolidating power in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon while fostering deeper ties with Turkey and even Gulf states seeking to hedge against shifting global alliances. This could mirror the beast symbolism in Daniel 7 and Revelation, where a lion (Babylon/Iraq), bear (Persia/Iran), and leopard (possibly Greece/Balkans or Turkey) form a unified force, potentially aligning with a new bloc of Middle Eastern and Balkan nations under Russia’s influence. If the U.S. becomes more isolationist or is preoccupied with its alliance with Russia, Israel could find itself increasingly surrounded by a hostile, well-coordinated coalition, where Iranian-backed militias and Arab states cooperate under Russian protection. The Gulf states, which have recently warmed to Israel through the Abraham Accords, might shift their stance if a dominant Iran-Russia axis pressures them into alignment. This could place Israel in a precarious position, forcing it to either strike preemptively or seek desperate new alliances, all while fulfilling the biblical imagery of an encircling beast system that rises in opposition to God’s people.
